Oven Fan Not Working? Gas Oven TroubleshootingMost induction burners require 240 volts of alternating current. If none of the controls or burners will work it is likely the circuit breaker has tripped. To reset the breaker turn it to the off position then back on.
Often after a power surge or power outage, the control board programming may be compromised. The control board can sometimes be reset by turning the power to the unit off for a few seconds then back on.
Many range and cooktop induction models will have a child lock or “Sabbath” feature which will prevent the buttons from being used when the feature is engaged. The unit could also be in “Demo” mode or another mode which prevents full operation. Consult the unit’s user manual for information regarding locking/unlocking the control panel.
If the range or cooktop was not installed with adequate ventilation the unit can overheat/shut off and may result in longer cooking times. Refer to the installation instructions for proper venting instructions.
Induction burners require pots and pans that are made of ferromagnetic material. You can use a magnet to confirm the cookware is made of ferromagnetic material. If the cookware is not suitable for induction cooking the burner may shut down and unsatisfactory cooking results may occur.
For best cooking performance use a burner that is best suited for the size of cookware being used. Using cookware that is more than ½” larger than the burner is not recommended.
